I actually wasn't fond of either kink of music until I realized how much it helps me concentrate. If I put on my favorite music I would spend my time singing to it and not concentrating on the task at hand. For clients who like to have a “distraction”, I suggest classical music or opera.

(my blog too does that - but i am not an expert and i am sure no one looks up to my thoughts as reference material :))....We discussed and found that tag/category based RSS feeds and aggregation is one solution - but that seems not so widespread right now. just recently a friend & colleague, who is also an avid blogger were discussing the distractions in blogs..
